Capturing Memories in Slides

The end of the school year was nearing and open house was around the corner. I wondered to myself, What is something my kids can create and that will capture their memories in transitional kindergarten?Then it dawned on me……Amemory book in Google Slides!

The kids were ecstatic when I demoed on the board what they were going to be doing on the iPads. This task was similar to other inserting-images-assignments they had done, except this time they were going to take some selfies. The book project was complete after a few center times being dedicated to working on the memory books. Check out the memories my students captured of some of the things they learned in TK:

I made the template by editing the master slides. Below is a video of how to edit the master slides so you can customize them for your class.
